Hi. Does anyone know how people make perfumes? Or the sticks that you burn and they give off smells.

And... I want to know about plants and medicines too! So if anyone knows just send me a message, okay? I don't want to know everything, just one or two things. Thanks.

[ AND THEN LATER ON IN THE DAY- ]

Hi, can I meet with someone who can make a ball of water without it touching anything? I want to try an attack on it, so - if you don't care about water exploding and you have a free hour sometime, let me know! Thanks!

[ Action ]

[ For the day (or even a few days before or after), Red can be found in a few number of places. First are trips into the bakery, grocery shop, convenience store -- heck, he'll visit all of the coffee/tea/restaurants/places that look like they serve food in them (oh, maybe he'll get a glimpse of that beautiful lady today...!). He shall also be carrying Very Big Bags that food is going in. After that - or somewhere in all of that, whenever the place opens - is a visit to the flower shop, the boy look at the flowers with his pikachu on his shoulder but really, he's waiting to see someone who runs it!

After that and grabbing a quick bite to eat is a visit to the Willow Tree, and then a visit to the Farmlands to see if there's anything to be done and to check in on Luke Skywalker's bantha Hamal. Doesn't matter if you're back to seeing him Luke, Red and him are bros. Red's pokémon Venusaur is out as always around this time (and everyone else, though those guys are eating), at a section of the ground with her multiple vines on the ground. Her flower is glowing softly, and the ground around her is actually poking out with small dots of green... is that grass? And do the plants in front of her look more grown?

Later on comes his training with a few people, as well as going to the Battle Dome when a room's available. Except there the trainer isn't always going to be inside, instead watching over them from the viewable pane on the second floor. (Hey is that Vegeta?? THAT GUY...) But there will be times when he's in there as well. Hey man who knows.

Considering the type of training they've been undertaking though, Red's not going to be at the battle dome the whole day -- his pokémon will need the rest. They'll take a walk into the forest, whether joined at whatever moment by Snorlax and Venusaur (Pikachu is an always, though the little mouse may be up in the trees at the time), sometimes stopping so that they can just chill. Red might be taking advantage of that whole just relaxing thang, but he may be testing out some tricks with the spells he's learnt. One of those will be creating a ball of light and then chucking it, bouncing it to go far - and then making it go in a flash of light at his command. What a nice waste of time.

And let's just throw in some other options too! Maybe they're on this day or a day before. Screw the rules of time. Training is an important thing for the trainer, and Red likes to make use of the open land once people get out of the forest towards the mountains. Nice and spacious, though sometimes he makes use of the teleporter to the hot springs to test the mountain ground as well.

Because they want to make some earthquakes, though trying to be mindful of other people around. With their training these days focusing more and more on how one uses their energy to cause bigger damage, getting it to do more than just shake the ground is worth testing out, and there's a different between the dirty earth and the rocky stone of the mountains...

(Gonna try hopping off if they hear anything suspicious approaching though! Yeah buddy we're talking about you. You know who you are.)

And then some days there's a visit to the beach. Big bird Lugia, are you going to be helping with that sometimes? Or at least a ride back to the village? Thanks bro. Because they've been having test matches against each other, Red's three pokémon against such an astounding legendary of the sea. And when they're not fighting? It's chilling on the beach together, Red with his journal out to read to the oversized seagull.

Or a Snorlax might be punching the water. Or kicking it. The sand too. Who even likes sand. ]

Not convinced they can't help it or that they can be cute?

That they can be cute. Though even if they were cute, I'm not sure I'd want them around if they smelled really really foul.

So no grimers or muk for you. Or glooms - they smell reeeeally bad.

[ So bad, but so nice to remember. ]

What kind of pokémon do you think you would want hanging around? [ a beat ] You tell me what things you like - random things, whatever comes to mind. Maybe I'll know a pokémon that fits it!

[A pokémon she would like hanging around... Ginia's foot rubs against Laika as she thinks on the question, typing things as they come to mind.]

I've always liked dogs, cats, and horses, so I'd probably like a pokémon based on one of those. Dragon pokémon sound really cool too.

[ Hmm, pokémon like those... he tries to think of the creatures he's seen in Luceti, then the ones make in his own world. He takes his journal, flipping his pencil until he writes. ]

Dragon pokémon - Dratini - ??? - Dragonite
They look long and blue without any wings until they evolve into dragonite and then they're orange with a white belly. Lance has one in Luceti
Vulpix - fire pokémon They evolve into Ninetales
They're soft with bunch of tails and they're a brown-orange color until they evolve and turn a cream color. They're on all fours like cats and dogs
Growlithe and Arcanine are fire pokémon too but arcanine are really big
Meowth and Persian - normal type pokémon
They're more like cats I think. They really like stealing things especially coins
Ponyta and Rapidash are fire pokémon like horses but they have fire where their hair is
Eevee - normal pokémon
They walk on all fours and are cute like vulpixes and they can evolve into different pokémon if you give them a special elemental stone (fire, water, thunder)
Tauros
I don't know a lot about tauros but they're like ponyta but they're not on fire and they have hair around their necks and two horns on their heads
Slowpoke are water pokémon on all fours but they don't have any fur. They've got really funny faces and look clueless all the time
Nidoran are four legged and cute too.
Rhydon
Sandshrew isn't on all fours but they can and mine has always had the most cutest face okay you would find her really cute!

[ okay maybe he's done HERE. LET HIM TURN AROUND THE BOOK. ]

Here's a bunch of pokémon! I'll tell you more about them if you want. I don't know them all but I know some.

[Ginia takes her time reading over the list and contemplating each one. Despite her aversion to fire, Vulpix, Ponya, Rapidash, Growlithe, and Arcanine sound wonderful and pokémon she would like. Eevee also stands out due to their unique form of evolution. She circles the aforementioned pokémon, then borrows his pen to write below:]

Do you think there are any other pokémon that would be good for me?

[ A pokémon that would be good for Ginia? He takes note of the circled pokémon, but focuses on his own thoughts as he tries thinking about qualities of Ginia herself, what he knows and what pokémon would work alongside that...

Difficult, actually, considering he's never done it. But he did say he'd try it, so.... give him some time to think... ]

Sandshrew/Sandslash (ground type) are good because they can burrow and create clouds of dust. Good at hiding but they can sneak around and have hard bodies. Sharp claws
Weedle/Kakuna/Beedrill (poison and flying types) can fly fast and they can shoot pins like bullets from a gun. Good at confusing opponents too if they move fast enough because they can make it look like there's swarms of them
Diglett/Dugtrio (ground type) can dig fast underground too and can get really good at finding opponents and they can make earthquaks that confuse people. You could be fighting someone and they can go under and take them down

[ Here. Have the book back. ]

What do you think?

[Ginia looks over the new list. In a sense, while pokémon can fight each other, having a pokémon attack people seems unfair. But in her world dogs were bred and trained for the sole purpose of being attack and guard dogs and certain horses were bred for stability in battle.

Red's suggestions are good. All the pokémon would work well for sneak attacks or creating confusion that she could use to her advantage. Ginia types out a response on her phone to save space on the journal.]

Your suggestions are really good. I don't imagine pokémon often fight people, but I can see how these tactics could be used in a pokémon battle.

[ Admittedly... ]

I was thinking about a draft. [ He looks down at his pen, sitting it onto the table. ] But dugtrio can't do anything easily to a flying target. Beedrill would be better. Sandslash would still be okay if you know what to do.

[ Oh! ] Or you can try training a dugtrio to use ground above it like a projectile. They can work for quick escapes too.

[Ah. It all works in the context of a draft too, that's easy enough to see. It's still saddening Red had to go through that.]

How about a pokémon that could prevent flying targets from flying?

Electric type, like Pikachu. [ He nods towards him. ] They can spread out electricity easy.

[Ginia nods slowly, remembering seeing someone else who had used electricity to incapacitate a large number of combatants. It was only a simulation in the Battle Dome, but was still an impressive (and terrifying) show.

While it's on her mind, Ginia grabs a piece of origami paper and writes four names on it.

Kakashi
Pakkun
Akino
Bisuke

With the names written, she sets the paper aside for later and types up a new message on her phone.]

I wonder what the village would be like if there were more pokémon around. I know some people got pokémon here.

[ He doesn't even know what she's doing until following her paper with his eyes brings him to the sight of the origami. Ohhh yeeahh, they were doing that. (And Pikachu is laying there on the table with one next to his head, but he's stopped poking it to move).

But, let Red read that message... ]

Do you think it would be better?

I don't know if it would be better. I think it would be good for some people to have a pokémon to take care as a companion and friend. And certain pokémon would be helpful with any building projects or traveling around.

[ He bops his head, mouth skewing to the side briefly. ]

I guess I agree - I mean, that's what we do with pokémon back home. But it'd be easier to have animals people know better as companions and if we learnt better to do building projects ourselves. [ He smiles. ] Like we can learn different kinds of magic here, we could all work together to make projects easier. Lots of people don't really get pokémon, so that'd mean having to learn to take care of them right, knowing what to watch for with them...

[ His voice turns amused. ] And if you had a group of snorlax walking around, you'd be having to put up with their stomachs.

Maybe that's why all the trainers are limited to three pokémon; we'd run out of food if everyone had their full group. But you bring up very valid points. We should be taking advantage of the things we have here to work together and make things better. We need to be self-sufficient.

[ Pretty agreeable, although... ]

But you know, they could have brought another one of my pokémon here and not Snorlax. [ They'd be saving more food that way. He tips his head. ] Maybe it's a random three and there's no picking. But it still doesn't explain what happens to any of the others with you.

[ And he sighs, patting his hands once on the surface of the table. ]

Luceti's world is weird.

[Ginia smiles lightly and reaches over to pat his hands reassuringly.]

Luceti is very weird, but the people here make up for it.

[ He gives her a smile back. ] Sure.

[ And a small silence follows, until he turns to Pikachu to wake him up gently. Hey hey, stop your dozing. Yes, fine, yawn and stretch. ]

Anyway, we better get going... I wanna see if we can get a room at the battle dome. [ There was never knowing, but sometimes he got lucky! ] Can I take some paper with me?

[Ginia sorts out about a third of the stack of paper and sets it aside for Red.]

Here you go. You two take care. I hope it's not too crowded there.

[ Taking it! He picks up his bag, but he'll keep them separated than slip it inside; they'll get crumpled that way. ]

Thanks! If we get one and you want to come and train too but there's no free rooms, you can come and share ours! Just let us know you're around.

Sure thing, though I'll probably be here. I have some people to meet later. You guys take care.

Sure. [ Okay okay, come on Pikachu. ] See you, Ginia!

[ It's said energetically, but still mindful of where they are and with a low volume. Have one last wave, Ginia!!! Bye bye!!! ]
